Hawaii, Rock Band, The Horah & Cotton Candy…

Mike and Alyssa were lucky enough to get married in Hawaii then come back to this awful NJ weather for the reception of a lifetime.  We started at the groom’s parent house (thanks Stella and Mo!) with some Rock Band then moved on.  The Venetian in Garfield was the perfect setting for their “second” wedding.  The tropical theme keep us all warm and we had a great time with them.  Many thanks to the great staff at The Venetian.  Mahalo!

One Cool Event Space

Suzanne and I had the pleasure of joining other industry professionals at the opening launch party for Studio Square in Long Island City, NY.   The moment we stepped off the elevator, Suzanne and I turned to each other and said we have to blog post about this awesome space!   Located in the Historic District of Long Island City, NY.  Studio Square offers an amazing experience for Weddings, Corporate and promotional events.   I personally loved the clean sleek look of their Loft Space, Suzanne’s favorite is the posh Empire Suite which offers breathtaking views of NYC.  And, honestly, it not far from NJ for a taste of chic, urban city-feel!

If you are looking for an upscale space for your important event, we urge you to personally contact Melissa, and inform her we referred you.

Not rain nor sleet nor SNOW can keep up from a wedding!

You guessed it - this wedding was on the day of the big snow storm!  So we bundled up and braved the elements with 200 guests and an awesome bride and groom.  Samantha and Jeff had a gorgeous wedding with the help of Jenny Orsini and her staff at Pampered Bride Weddings.  And the snow storm made for some unique shots at the Crystal Plaza.  Enjoy!

Special Thanks to:  Rob Villano of Villanovisions video, Josh Lynn of NJ Photobooths, Jenny and Monique of Pampered Bride Weddings and Barry Herman’s band ‘Cashmere’.  We had a great time working together!

A cold beach…but the dogs don’t mind

We had a great time photographing Jenn & Chris and their dogs! This cold, crisp November day had a beautiful sky (who new NJ could look like this??!!) Our favorite aspect is when a bride and groom see each other before the ceremony and take the time to get the perfect photographs! Here is the result! Thanks to Sal and Tara and everyone at The Water’s Edge for letting us in early to play a little football!

A rainy day turned perfect…

We recently had the pleasure of shooting this fun couple at Sea Oaks Country Club.  While the bride was worried for a week about the weather, it cleared up just in time to see her future husband before the ceremony.  Thanks for making the day fun, Michelle and Don!

Starfish & Basketball - Liz & Jason

This is a really fun couple.  Liz and Jason share a love of basketball & the beach, so we were able to incorporate that into their wedding.  Jay and the guys took some time in the AM to shoot hoops, while the ladies were becoming beautiful.  Liz and Jason braved a chilly beach for a beautiful outside ceremony and photo shoot at The Water’s Edge.  All their guests had a great time - Water’s Edge never fails to produce great times!  Sand, shells, starfish and some basketball - great combination! Congratulations Liz and Jay!  Special thanks to my friends and the vendors:
